Abstract

Dielectric heating is a potential alternative for material processing, more energy efficient, allowing rapid and controlled processes, that applies the principles of green chemistry. In the paper there are presented a polymerization equipment with conventional / dielectric heating and the effect of the high frequency electromagnetic field presence - as source of thermal energy - during poly(acrylamide) synthesis. By using this technique, significant increase of the conversion and reaction rate are registered; some properties of the synthesized polymer are influenced, too..
